The reduction in natural gas supply to petrochemical plants, which commenced last month to provide the household sector with enough gas, is continuing and this restriction has led to a 30% decline in the production of petrochemicals, the secretary-general of the Association of Petrochemical Employers Unions said.
“All petrochemical plants that use natural gas as feedstock have reduced their production and are operating at 70% of their capacity,” Mehr News Agency also quoted Ahmad Mahdavi-Abhari as saying.
According to reports, between 30% and 70% of gas supply restrictions have been imposed on major industries compared to the summer when they were fully provided by gas.
